Explosion In Bronx Junkyard Kills One And Injures Another

More than 100 firefighters responded to a call about a blaze at a junkyard on Boston Road in the Bronx after an explosion caused the fire.

Officials Investigate Cause Of Bronx Junkyard Explosion 

According to a police report, two workers were present when the explosion happened at around 3:10 p.m. and the force of the blast threw them both off their feet. When emergency officials arrived, they found one worker seriously injured. Today, he is in a medically induced coma fighting for his life.

They were unable to locate the second worker for a significant amount of time and initially declared him missing. Hours after the explosion his body was found.

There has been no word about what caused the explosion or what the impact the burning plastic and metal will have on the environment.

Workers' Compensation Should Cover The Injured Workers' Medical Expenses 

Treatment for injuries were severe enough to force doctors to put the worker in a medically induced coma will be very costly. Thankfully, workers' compensation should cover all of these expenses.

That being said, it's disturbing how many workers' compensation claims are dismissed outright for simple mistakes. This is why so many injured workers and their loved ones seek the help of an experienced workers' compensation attorney.

An attorney can make sure that all paperwork is correctly filled out and filed in a timely manner. They can speak with the insurance company and find the evidence that is needed for the claim.

If a denial has been issued, an attorney can fight to have the denial overturned.
